about

Ingrid is a multidisciplinary designer and artist who practises scenography on an urban scale. She trained with Petr Perina, disciple of the reknowned Czech scenographer Josef Svoboda. She received her MA in Scenography from Central St Martins in London, and has been working in theatre and multidisciplinary design in the UK and internationally over the past 16 years.

She joined the award-winning Heatherwick Studio in 2002, and has worked on a wide range of projects with clients such as the British Council, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the V&A Museum. She was one of the three core members within the studio responsible for the UK Pavilion at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, for which she received a D&AD award in Spatial Design.

Alongside freelance work, she develops ideas inspired by the way we interact with our environments, and is particularly drawn to the relationship between sound and space. Most of her work is fabricated at her studio in Kennington, London, through a collaborative process with a network of specialists in performance making, engineering and architecture.

Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Ingrid lived in Hong Kong and Canada before moving to London. She is a member of the Society of British Theatre Designers and an associate lecturer at UAL Central St Martins.
